Default Am I crazy??

Ive already painted my truck once.. when i got it it looked like this..


I started to sand it all down to





I tried to make it look better and painted it red..

painted the interrior



But it didnt turn out as great as i thought.. the body is just to beat up to look good.. plus with the stack exhuast it blows black stuff all over the sides of the bed..

So now im thinking about buying some ultra flat krylon spray paint and just camo the whole thing.. somthing like these trucks..







So what do you think?? im I crazy? Should i do it?

i had a camo ranger in the past, i loved it. but if you do it camo, do it neat and make templates, not just random spots of color, it will give it a professional look.

I was planning on trying to just mimick the look of the camo on the F350.. the first f150 looks to spaced out and the second one looked kinda blockish and repetative.. if i could get it to look somthing like the 350 though id be happy.... actually when i first got the truck it was camo.. but it was done in red primer grey primer and black primer...

Flat black is an option im looking at to.. but I never like to be plain.. thats why i was looking at camo..

All i know for sure is im going to use ultra flat krylon paint to do whatever i decide to do with it

do the camo but go to the auto parts store and buy some spray on bedliner and spray it on the bottom half of the truck.

I did my (Ahem, cough, cough) Chevy like this. I'd do it a bit differently now but what I did was OD Green base then Desert Tan stripes with a sharp black 1.5" black line separating the two.

Sorry if the pic offends anyone on this Ford site!
